Delete, obviously without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when the film actually sees release. It's not our role to indiscriminately maintain an article about every single film that merely enters the production pipeline — with rare exceptions for highly meganotable films (e.g. Marvel, Star Wars) that generate a lot of coverage during the production phase, we normally don't want an article at all until the film is released and starting to get reviewed by real film critics. The existence of a couple of casting announcements is not enough coverage to exempt a film from having to clear the primary notability bar for films, especially when those are dated late 2019 or early 2020 — something has gone very wrong, in a way that definitely violates our inclusion criteria for films, if a film whose sources were all published two full years ago still hasn't actually seen light of day.
